Chapter 129 Fang Xiaoru's countermeasures

Fang Xiaoru is also sitting in the middle of the upper hand at this moment, and this position is on the side of the prince's position.

Qi De sat beside Fang Xiaoru and said, "Bachelor, do you know about the steam engine?" ”

Fang Xiaoru said: "Naturally understand. It can be said that the holy object of new learning, which can replace the power of humans and animals, is a clear proof of He Xi's theory of productivity. Your Majesty let the ministers observe with such fanfare, isn't it just to show the people of the world that the new learning can be learned, and we can't wait for the old learning? ”

Qi De said worriedly: "That bachelor, isn't there a way to deal with it?" ”

For many people, the new law and the old law are still entangled in many superficial things, such as patriarchal law, kissing, destiny, ritual law, and so on. But a great Confucian like Fang Xiaoru has long understood He Xi's thoughts, just as He Xi also understands the thoughts of Fang Xiaoru and others.

At this level, there is no strategic miscalculation at all.

Everyone knows what each other is going to do? The only thing I don't understand is probably what the opponent is going to do.

Fang Xiaoru's understanding of He Xi's doctrine even surpassed that of many He Xi's students. That's why the summary is very good, and what He Xi did has never deviated from its roots. It is to develop productive forces. Everything else is here for this purpose.

And Zid understands this very well.

Before, what steam engine could replace people working machinery. In the eyes of many people, it is a fantasy. But now that it has been truly created, the ideological shock it brings to people is indescribable.

Chinese people are very realistic in their bones.

One thing, no matter what, is so fantastic. It's all nothing. But once it becomes useful. A lot of people will take the initiative to get involved.

Nowadays, the usefulness of the steam engine can be understood by those who are not fools.

Even, before the demonstration of the steam engine, many people judged that this demonstration had no problems at all, and there could be no problems. The question is after. Even Zid fears that after today, many scholars will defect.

Fang Xiaoru said: "It's okay, he beats him, I beat mine." But Brother Qi, do you think we need to revise one or two of the holy learning? ”

Seeing Fang Xiaoru like this, Qi De's heart also calmed down. After all, Fang Xiaoru has assisted the prince in the past ten years and has become the backbone of the prince's faction. Even among the prince's faction, it can be said that the tail is infallible.

Naturally has some prestige over his subordinates.

Fang Xiaoru said that there is no problem, then there should be no problem. Qi De pondered Fang Xiaoru's question, pondered for a moment, and said: "Articles are written for the time, and songs and poems are written for the sake of things. The way of Confucius and Mencius, into the Hanwei as a ram, divided into ancient and modern texts. In the Tang and Song dynasties, there was a theory of Taoism, but now in the former Song Dynasty, Mongolia did not write articles. We should clean up the articles of the sages and make new ones. to show posterity. ”

Fang Xiaoru said: "Yes, when we carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, we should continue to inherit the saints, be the vein of Taoism, and send the voice of the world." I can't do this alone. Brother Qi, you also need to help each other a lot. ”

Qi Tai smiled bitterly and said, "I'm shallow in knowledge, I'm afraid I can't help." ”

Fang Xiaoru said: "It doesn't matter, gathering like-minded people will eventually achieve something." ”

That's the impact He Xi brings.

The academic trend of thought in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, generally speaking, was not only the revival of science, but also the practical study upheld by many scholars, the most typical of these people is Liu Bowen. Liu Ji, Yao Guangxiao, and the advisors who assisted the princes in their struggle to dominate the world, and even Luo Guanzhong. That one is a man of science.

But after the end of the Ming Dynasty, this trend of thought fell silent.

Among them, it is said that the last influential work is a note written by Yao Guangxiao in Yongle, which criticizes the theory of science. But it has become a lonely story. Even the Yongle Emperor, for his orthodox status, vigorously developed and respected Confucianism, and compiled many books, such as the Four Books and the Five Classics, and so on. The science of science was truly determined to be an official science, and the doctrine was grouped into one, and even for a long time, it was studied in the government. Sanyang is an auxiliary minister of the imperial court, and he has also become a special situation of the world's scholarly masters.

But under He Xi's stimulation, Fang Xiaoru obviously found a problem, that is, the outdated science can no longer adapt to He Xi's new offensive.

In any doctrine, reality must be explained.

He Xi's previous doctrine is not yet reality. The filial piety of the f party can be ignored. But that's no longer the case. The steam engine has become a reality. He Xi is dazzling with many things to do in Beijing. But what is the essence?

In essence, He Xi took seven or eight million taels of silver from Chaotian, and completed what could only be done with one or two million taels.

Fang Xiaoru couldn't ignore these anymore.

This problem brought by He Xi must be explained by Fang Xiaoru within the framework of Confucianism.

If Fang Xiaoru is an ordinary corrupt Confucian, he will naturally cling to his defects and refuse to make any changes, but the problem is that Song Lian values Fang Xiaoru not without reason, Fang Xiaoru does not agree with many of Song Lian's theories academically. There are a lot of innovations. 33

Fang Xiaoru is called the seed of reading by the people of the world, not without reason.

Fang Xiaoru must create a Confucian framework that can accommodate He Xi's theory of productivity and scientific theory. In fact, this is almost the same as the Neo-Confucianism that many people in later generations want to create. It can even be said that what He Xi has been doing has a different path.

After all, He Xi's attainments in Confucianism are not worthy of Fang Xiaoru's shoes. Therefore, what He Xi came up with, in Fang Xiaoru's opinion, is simply a rigid and messy mess, and it can't be described as full of loopholes.

Of course, Fang Xiaoru's purpose in doing this is completely different from He Xi's.

This is a struggle for the supreme right of interpretation, so as to grasp the initiative in changing the law, and if the law must be changed, it cannot be carried out under the auspices of He Xi.

This is also the last resort for Fang Xiaoru to face He Xi's pressure step by step. The reason why he said to Qi De is because among the world, Confucianism is the most. There are only a few people who can understand Fang Xiaoru's thoughts.

Fang Xiaoru had to choose the people he liked one by one, and after forming a small group, he would say it to others.

As the head of a faction, He Xi faced the nobles who ate their own food and wanted to smash their own pots, so he had to clean up and win them over. And Fang Xiaoru is the same problem. The idea of the doctor is actually very simple, that is, to return to the past.

Before this, it was not just the Hongwu period, but earlier, that is, the Yuan Dynasty.

After all, the connivance of the Yuan Dynasty to local forces can be said to be unprecedented. Zhu Yuanzhang said that Yuan died with leniency. But for many scholars and local scholars, this is what they desire the most. But Fang Xiaoru had already discovered it keenly. Whether he wants it or not, the wheel of history has turned, and it is impossible to go back to the past.

As a politician, you have to win the hearts of the people, but you can't let yourself be coerced by the people below, which is a test of everyone's ability. The prince, Fang Xiaoru, He Xi and many others are facing such problems.

Of course, this problem does not exist here in Zhu Yuanzhang.

When a person is strong enough to a certain extent, these things can be ignored.

Along with it, a few silent whips sounded. The whole venue fell silent in an instant.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the crown prince, surrounded by many talents, slowly entered the venue, and everyone stood together and saluted: "Meet Your Majesty, meet His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't see anything else except a few more gray hairs. But the crown prince was visibly weak and a little emaciated. It's just that his eyes are blazing, and he looks very good, but if he looks closely, he has some external strength and middle strength.

I don't know, but now his spiritual head is a false fire.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked the people below to get up, and he sat straight on his dragon chair, and the crown prince was behind Zhu Yuanzhang, one position behind. Sit down too.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the prince haven't talked much for a long time.

There was not much communication between father and son.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the prince's body, a little distressed, and said: "Your body is not good, so you won't use it today." Taking good care of your body is the most important thing. ”

The prince coughed lightly twice and said, "Such a big event will definitely go down in history, how can the child be absent." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Well, after seeing this steam engine, you and I, father and son, are also going to talk." ”

Some people died, but not completely......
